LOS ANGELES, Aug 14: Simone Biles continues to push the boundaries of her sport to the point even the American gymnast�s rivals can only watch in admiration.
Sunisa Lee said she was �super happy� to take the all-around silver medal at the US championships this weekend, where Biles capped her record-tying sixth national all-around title with a never-before-seen �triple-double� floor exercise landing � a finale featuring two flips and three twists.
Even Biles admitted she couldn�t wait to see the replay of the move, whipping out her phone between rotations to check out the video.
�I didn�t want to be the last person to see it,� she said.
Biles � who already has a vault skill and a floor exercise manoeuvre named for her as their originator � pressed the limits in balance beam in Kansas City, too, with a double-flip, double-twist beam dismount. � AFP
